1. Introduction

1.1. DanEI-300 Overview Roll period and heel angle data, in combination with other ship's and environmental data, are essential for understanding the motion of the ship and its cargo, and in determining motion cues available to the crew.

Electronic inclinometers are intended to support the decision-making process of the master on board in order to avoid dangerous situations as well as Maritime Casualty Investigation by providing information about the roll period and the heel angle of the ship.

The DANEI-300 Electronic Inclinometer is fully compliant with the international standards for electronic inclinometer and other relevant standards.

1.2. System Composition The standard configuration of DanEI-300 Electronic Inclinometer comprises of a Sensor Unit and a Display Unit. Figure 1 shows the standard configuration of the DanEI-300.

Figure 1: Standard Configuration

1.2.1. Sensor Unit

The Sensor Unit measures heel angle and pitch angle in real time. It delivers the data to the Display Unit.

Based on the state-of-the-art technology of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), the Sensor Unit embeds a high-accuracy, six-degrees-of-freedom MEMS sensor (3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope) as motion sensing element.

Sensor Data

ACN, HBTFrom INS



The heel angle and pitch angle data is calculated by an advanced sensor fusion and motion processing algorithm using the raw data from both the accelerometer and gyroscope. This enables reliable estimation of the ship’s attitude in the presence of various linear and rotational movements, and thus ensures the accuracy of measurement under any possible situation that the ship may encounter.

1.2.2. Display Unit

The Display Unit receives instantaneous attitude and motion data from the Sensor Unit, and derives the roll period and amplitude statistics. It provides the following indications:

◾ Instantaneous heel angle

◾ Roll period

◾ Roll amplitude to port and starboard

◾ Pitch angle

Heel Angle Warning function is also provided and can be enabled or disabled by the user. The warning will be activated as soon as the heel angle exceeds the user-preset value.

1.2.3. Multiple Displays

Besides the standard configuration of one Sensor Unit and one Display Unit, the system also supports multiple displays by using additional Display Units and IEC 61162-450 digital interface, as shown in Figure 2.

2. Operating Instructions

2.1. Switching ON/OFF The DanEI-300 Electronic Inclinometer has a power switch on the back side of the Display Unit. By turning on the switch, both the Display Unit and the Sensor Unit will be powered on.

To shut down the inclinometer, turn the switch to OFF position.

The international regulations require that the heel angle data shall be measured and recorded. This electronic inclinometer shall be kept running whenever the vessel is underway.

It is also highly recommended to keep it running all the time, even when the vessel is docking or berthing.

2.2. Operation Panel Figure 3 shows the operation panel on the Display Unit of DanEI-300.

Figure 3: Operation Panel

The Display Unit is equipped with a color LCD screen (800×480 pixels) to display the graphical user interface. Four keys ( MENU/ENTER , � , � and ALARM/ACK. ) are provided for the user to operate the Display Unit. A buzzer is also available at the lower right corner of the operation panel.

The keys on the operation panel are illuminated and this makes the inclinometer very convenient to operate even at night. The brightness of the screen and the key illumination can be adjusted by the user in order to ensure the readability under all ambient light conditions and not to impair night vision.

The following readings are available on the main screen:

2.3.1. Heel Angle

Instantaneous heel angle is displayed in two different forms:

◾ Numeric display

Heel angle is indicated by the numeric display at the center of the screen and is refreshed every 0.1 second. The digital indication has a range from 90 degrees port to 90 degrees starboard with a resolution of 0.1 degree.

◾ Analog display

Heel angle is indicated by the pointer on the gauge and is refreshed every 0.1 second. The heel angle scale has a range from 45 degrees port to 45 degrees starboard and is numbered every 10 degrees. Division marks are displayed every 1 degree.

When heel angle exceeds the analog display range (45 degrees port to 45 degrees starboard) under highly extreme situations, the pointer will stay at the end of the heel angle scale and therefore does NOT indicate the actual heel angle value.

Please refer to the digital reading instead of analog reading for heel angle greater than 45 degrees.

2.3.2. Roll Period

Numeric display for roll period is located on the upper right corner of the screen with a resolution of 0.1 second. The value of roll period is determined by the time interval between the maximum values of the rolling oscillation and is updated twice during each period of rolling oscillation.

Figure 5 illustrates the determination and update of roll period.

C.2. UDP Multicast Datagram

Transmission Group VDRD PROP

Multicast Address 239.192.0.5 239.192.0.8

Destination Port 60005 60008

Supported Sentences HRM, ALF, ALC, ACN and HBT (refer to B.2 for detail)

PIRTEID, PIRTELD and PIRTELR (refer to C.3 for detail)

The DanEI-300 Master Display Unit transmits HRM, ALF, ALC and HBT sentences to VDRD Transmission Group. The source identification (s) and line-count parameter (n) are used in the TAG block of the transmitted UDP datagrams.

The DanEI-300 Master Display Unit also receives ACN/HBT sentences from VDRD Transmission Group for alert command and supervision. The destination identification (d) in the TAG block of the received UDP datagram will be checked. If it does not match the SFI of the Master Display Unit, the UDP datagram will be discarded even if it contains a valid ACN or HBT sentence.

The DanEI-300 Slave Display Unit does not transmit any sentence to VDRD Transmission Group. But it receives sentences from VDRD and PROP Transmission Groups to synchronize data and presentation with the Master Display Unit. The source identification (s) in the TAG block of the received UDP datagram will be checked. If it does not match the Master SFI setting, the datagram will be discarded.

C.3. Proprietary Sentences

Besides the UDP multicast datagram described in C.2, DANEI-300 also transmits and receives proprietary sentences. The transmission group PROP (239.192.0.8:60008) is used for these proprietary sentences.

◾ PIRTEID – Electronic Inclinometer Data


DanEI-300 UM1 v1.6 27

This sentence is used to transmit necessary information from Master Display Unit to Slave Display Unit, with a constant update rate of 10 Hz.

The source identification (s) and line-count parameter (n) are used in the TAG block of the transmitted UDP datagrams.

◾ PIRTELD – IEC 61162-450 error logging data

This sentence is used to report IEC 61162-450 error logging data from Master Display Unit. It is transmitted every 10 seconds.

The source identification (s) and line-count parameter (n) are used in the TAG block of the transmitted UDP datagrams.

◾ PIRTELR – IEC 61162-450 error logging reset

This sentence is received by Master Display Unit to reset IEC 61162-450 error logging counters. The sentence has the fixed content of “$PIRTELR*44<CR><LF>”. Once received, all the error logging counters will be reset to zero.

The destination identification (d) in the TAG block of the received UDP datagram will be checked. If it does not match the SFI of the Master Display Unit, the UDP datagram will be discarded.
